Questions people ask

What does a food hygiene rating of 3 mean?

A 3 means hygiene standards were found to be generally satisfactory. The scale runs from 5 (very good) down to 0 (urgent improvement necessary). The inspector looks at how food is handled and stored, the state of the kitchen and building, and how the business keeps food safe. It says nothing about how the food tastes.

Which takeaways in Torfaen have a 5 hygiene rating?

38 of the 60 rated takeaways across Torfaen scored 5 at their last inspection, including Papa Johns Pizza, XOLO - MEXICAN ARTISAN KITCHEN and Burger King.

How often are takeaways inspected?

The council decides from how much risk a business poses: the highest-risk places can be inspected every six months, lower-risk ones every year or two, sometimes longer. A business that has put things right can ask to be re-inspected. Each rating here shows when it was given.

Do takeaways have to display their hygiene rating?

Yes. In Wales it’s the law: every food business has to show its rating sticker where customers can see it, and takeaways have to mention it on menus they hand out too. You can also look any rating up on the Food Standards Agency’s website, or on each business’s page here.
